About Comox Valley Transition Society

The Comox Valley Transition Society and Dawn to Dawn are teaming up for our third annual Coldest Night of the Year Walk to end homelessness.

This family event will take place in downtown Courtenay on Saturday evening, Feb 24th.

Last year our community came out by the 100's and raised more than $63,000 which helped shelter, feed and support families and individuals who were homeless or at risk of homelessness.

Please join us this year as we aim to raise $75,000.

With your help we can end homelessness in our community!
